Advancing in these skills also allow the character to use additional skill bonuses and Hero Powers. The player may optionally focus on any one or more of the available skills.

The player may directly control up to 4-6 characters (including pets). The size of the battle group depends on the level difficulty set in the initial game start. The higher the difficulty, the more characters the player may control in the game.
